Jets select Alabama WR ArDarius Stewart with the 79th pick
The Jets traded down from 70 to 79, picking up a 5th round pick (#160) in the process. They then selected ArDarius Stewart with the 79th pick.
Stewart is 5'11" with sub-4.5 speed and is known for his toughness and abilities after the catch. He gains a lot of yardage on short yardage but has some abilities to get deep too.
After Brandon Marshall's departure, there is room on the depth chart for another young receiver, but Stewart is considered pro-ready so could make contributions early. With Jalin Marshall suspended at the start of the season, this will give him a good chance to move up the depth chart.
Analysis to follow tomorrow, but for now, let's hear your take on this pick. Stay in the official thread to discuss the ongoing events in the draft.
